It is very important for executives managing Pacific Rim operations to sometimes seek advice from a "coach", "advisor", or "sounding board" - someone outside the organization who knows the region intimately. This can often make the difference in keeping business - and relationships - on track.

Ionis offers coaching and consulting services in the following areas:
Working individually with executives and program managers involved in long-term business relationships in Asia.
Acting as a sounding board for U.S. executives via telephone and email on critical issues as they arise.

Managing intercultural aspects of M&A integration in the Pacific Rim.
Troubleshooting problems/concerns in relationships with Asian partners, subsidiaries and other business organizations.
Administering the IDI - Intercultural Development Inventory - to individual executives or multicultural work teams.

Recent examples of Ionis coaching and consulting include:
Advising the U.S. program manager of a large aerospace firm in negotiating the sale of military hardware to Japan through a Japanese industrial partner.
Advising a U.S.-based firm on its entry strategy to China, identifying potential vendors, and participating in contract negotiations.
Advising a U.S. company on its acquisition of a smaller firm in Japan. Ionis provides on-going consulting to the U.S. executive team on integration issues, and intercultural training to both the Japanese and U.S. team members.
